The addition and deletion of 0-length files were not included in the diffs of
review requests. This was especially troublesome when we needed to add or
delete an empty __init__.py file, for example.

This change adds support for including new and deleted empty files in review
requests for Git, SVN, Mercurial, and Perforce. New empty files will be
displayed with the text "This is an empty file.", and deleted empty files will
be displayed with the text "This empty file was deleted. The content cannot be
displayed." (see the attached screenshots).

I used rbt post and the "New Review Request" page to create review
requests with different Git diffs, and rbt post for SVN, Mercurial, and
Perforce diffs:
- Diff with 1 new empty file
- Diff with 2 new empty files
- Diff with 1 new empty file, 1 new non-empty file
- Diff with 1 new empty file, 2 modified files
- Diff with 1 deleted empty file
- Diff with 1 deleted empty file, 1 modified file
- Diff with 1 deleted empty file, 1 deleted non-empty file, 1 modified file

After this change, the 3 unit tests that tested parsing a Git diff with a new
empty file failed. (Since a new empty file is now included, the number of files
from parse() has increased by 1.)

After updating the 3 unit tests to reflect this change, all unit tests pass.
The new unit tests also pass.

It would be nice to mention if this is a deleted empty file.

This should go into SVNDiffParser (reviewboard/scmtools/svn/__init.py__) so that this behavior doesn't interfere with diffs from other SCMs.

    It would be nice to mention if this is a deleted empty file.

    1. My latest revision does this now, but it requires that we get chunks for any deleted file unless it is an empty file (whereas previously, we did not get chunks for all deleted files). Just pointing this out in case this is too expensive!

  1. This looks good to me. Was there anything else you were planning on adding?

    1. Nothing to add here as well.
